1921 Luger identification

Your gun is a Weimar era Luger with a mismatched toggle and aftermarket sideplate. It was built from parts, so it will not be of much interest to a collector, but looks like it would make a good shooter.
The plug on your magazine bottom looks either damaged or perhaps a home made replacement.

Congrats to the addiction called Luger ownership. They are like eating one peanut!! Looks like a good shooter from what I can see. If you do chose to shoot it, first break it down for a good cleaning and inspection, then a good lube. Stick with std. velocity ammo like Winchester White box 115gr FMJ or PMC 115gr FMJ. You might also want to pick up a good aftermarket mag or two, and Mec-Gar make the best ones available......Oh, and welcome to the forum.
